NORTH EASTERN REGIONAL INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: NIRJULI (ITaNaGaR) :: ARUNACHAL PRADESH - 791109 Time: 2 Hrs (DEEMED UNIVERSITY) Department of Electrical Engineering MID SEMESTER Examinarion (JULY — Dec. 10): EE-7101 (POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM! INSTRUCTIONS: i) ii) [1] (a) (b) (2) B) (a) (b) [4] (a) 15} (a) (b) Answer any Three questions All questions carry equal marks and right hand figures indicate maximum marks Discuss the growth of Power in India from 1948 9 till date Give the comparison between steam, hydro-electric and nuclear power plants. Explain () Magneto Hydro Dynamics (MHD) (i) Tidal Energy (Ill) Wind Energy and (iv) Biomass What is meant by corona? What are the various factors which effect corona? How can the corona effect be minimized? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of corona. A certain 3-phase equilateral transmission line has a total corona loss of 53 kW at 106 kV and a loss of 98 kW at 110.9 kV. What is the disruptive critical voltage between lines? What is the corona loss at 113 kV? Name the static device that absorbs the reactive power. Three generators are rated as follows Generator 1 : 100 MVA, 33 kV, reactance Generator 2: 150 MVA, 32 kV, reactance Generator 3: 110 MVA, 30 KV, reactance = 12% Choosing 200 MVA and 35 KV as base quantities, compute per unit reactance of the three generators referred to these base quantities. Draw the reactance diagram and mark per unit reactances. The three generators are connected to common bus-bars Explain EHV-Ac and HVDC transmission line on the basis of economical ground. technical ground and reliability based performances An existing three-phase, double circuit AC line is to be converted to three-circuit OG line. Assuming the same insulation level and unity power factor in ac system, show that (a) the ratio of power transmitted by dc to that by ac is equal to/2. and (0) the ratio of percentage loss by de to that by ac is equal to 1/2 Full Marks: 30 (6) (4) (8) (5) w
